By Daniel Wine, CNN

(CNN) – The finances of Americans with low incomes are deteriorated and more buyers go without basic needs. According to the dollar, this is General, whose “core customers” earn less than 40,000 US dollars a year. The discount chain is considered a block of buyers with a low and medium incoming.

Here is what else you need to know Start your week intelligently.

Sunday spotlight

During his latest presidential campaign, Donald Trump spoke a lot about his plans to implement tariffs. After taking office in January, he quickly became aware of these promises by aiming at the country's three largest trading partners: Mexico, Canada and China.

The rollout was chaotic and controversial. Trump's 25% tariffs on aluminum and steel came into force last week, and Canada and Europe returned up immediately.

The President's tariffs threaten to significantly increase prices for American consumers at a time when the US economy is already on shaky soil.

1️⃣ How do tariffs work? They are a tax on goods from a different country. A tariff is usually a percentage of the value of import and can vary depending on where the goods come from and which products the products are. You need to know the following.

2️⃣ Warning sign: The Wall Street was seriously frightened by Trump's unpredictable economic agenda, and gold prices met 3,000 US dollars for the first time when investors are looking for a safe harbor. Consumer mood has just been the lowest level in more than two years.

3️⃣ Within an industry: Customs could lend the cost of building and buying a new car thousands of dollars. Trump said car manufacturers can avoid its tariffs by simply moving production to American plants, but it's not that easy. Even Tesla, the electric car company led by Elon Musk, said that retaliation duties against US manufacturers could harm its operation.

4️⃣ “Everything costs more”: For Craft Brewers – an industry that mostly consists of small companies in which the product is made of steel and packed in aluminum – the newly used tariffs have a direct impact on their profit.

5️⃣ What's next: It started with tariffs, but the trade war quickly escalates into a wider fight. David Goldman from CNN explains why Trump digs up so deeply into an economic and political hole that it could prove to be impossible to climb out.
